Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile Site

The new Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site actually consists
of two sites telling the story of the Cold War years in North Dakota. They are the
Oscar-Zero Missile Alert Facility and the November-33 Launch Facility.
They are the last remnants of the 321st Missile Wing, a cluster of intercontinental
ballistic missile launch sites that were spread over a 6,500-square-mile area
around the Grand Forks Air Force Base. The Oscar Zero Launch Control Center and the November-33 Missile Facilty played an integral part in the Cold War in North Dakota and the world. This site is the last launch control center intact with the top-side of November 33 missile facility left intact.

Visitors to Oscar-Zero will be given a guided
tour of topside facilities and will learn how the facility
managers, security forces, maintenance teams,
and cooks lived their daily lives at the MAF. Guests
may also choose to be guided down the elevator
shaft to the underground Launch Control Equipment
Building and Launch Control Center, where
they will see firsthand the front lines of the United
States’ strategy of nuclear deterrence. They will be
able to step behind the concrete blast door and witness
the equipment that could have been used by
the missile crews to launch nuclear missiles.
At November-33 visitors will see the topside
of a launch facility, including the massive launch
closure door which once protected a missile, an
imposing security fence, the electronic security
system, and the ventilation systems that served the
underground equipment buildings. The topside
appears exactly as it did during its existence as an
active launch facility.
